I heard about the fresh Kubbeh soup made fresh on Wednesdays and very much wanted to try it. Finally on a trip to Florida, I got to go to this restaurant specifically on a Wednesday to try this soup. It was delicious! Both of them! The kubbeh selek was rich. The spiced meat filled kubbeh yummy! The kubbeh hamusta, was tangy & the pulled meat filled kubbeh was also delicious. This was my first time tasting kubbeh hamusta & it was very interesting indeed! But I really wanted to try it! The fresh Moroccan Frena bread was sooooo good! The Shuflur, crispy & tender to delicate. The service was quick & the people friendly. I highly recommend this very different restaurant! read more

Papa Mediterranean Kitchen is an authentic restaurant. They use high quality ingredients and it shows. The flavor of the food is outstanding. I had the pleasure of enjoying 9 of their pala salads. One was better than the next. I enjoyed the eggplant, another variety of eggplant, a special corn fish, beets, tahini, hummus, roasted tomato with jalepeno. My favorite was the roasted tomato/jalapeño, corn and hummus. The roasted tomatoes with jalepeno was not very spicy, which I liked. The beets were so fresh. I did like each salad. They all seemed pretty healthy, despite tasting so good. Service was personable when I picked up the food. The staff members were friendly and helpful. I want to come here for dinner. It looks like they have some tasty meat dishes. read more

The food was delicious. I ordered appetizers and then main courses that was very yummy. The service was great. The food was served pretty quickly, and the waitress was very nice. Prices was fair. I know the kosher food is a little bit pricey but that's the market. Recommend for all who's in the area use their Friday catering and lunch ! read more

Great food and unbelievable service! CONGRATULATIONS!!! You are the best and we'll be coming back every time we can! read more

I had lunch today with my wife and overall it was a great experience. The food was excellent and very fresh--I even made sure to compliment the owner personally. My only concern was with the billing process. The waiter presented the check on a credit card device without a printed receipt, and the screen made it difficult to clearly review the charges. In addition, it wasn't mentioned that the tip was already included, and I was guided toward adding an additional tip, which could easily lead to confusion. With a bit more transparency during checkout, this would have been a perfect visit. read more

I finally have a chance to try out this restaurant that I found through my Instagram reels. Everything in the videos looks so amazing and today I came in and it did not disappoint. I came in for a specific dish, which is the couscous with the vegetable soup and it was amazing. Some of the best I've ever had. My husband ordered the fishball dish and it was incredible so full of flavor. The staff is so attentive and sweet. service was excellent. I will definitely come back. read more

Pala Mediterranean Kitchen - Couscous with vegetables, soup. So delicious - Kosher Near Me - Hollywood, Florida

Very tasty Moroccan Israeli food. The salads were delicious. They made an effort to accommodate me and my family with no reservation. The restaurant is nice but small. It's a bit pricy, but for what they serve it's okay. Overall we enjoyed the food and hospitality. It tasted like home made. A bit spicy, but that what makes it so tasty. read more

We met friends from the Midwest who were visiting family in south Florida. They are kosher. This wasn't our usual choice for us of dining venues, but we do like mediterranean cuisine, so we felt it was a promising option. In addition, it was a restaurant that none of us had been to before. We were familiar with the shopping center as many years ago there was both a sushi restaurant and Chinese restaurant that we used to frequent here. There's plenty of parking in the lots nearby although it is a busy corner. The restaurant is small. Our server had just started working there so she was quite careful in taking our order and had to check the answers to our questions. Even though the service wasn't perfect (she didn't bring a few extra items we'd asked for -- like salad dressing, etc.), we knew she was trying. Our friends started out with a hummus appetizer. It came with pita bread. The hummus was quite good. It was topped with some whole chickpeas and oil. It was a large enough of a serving to share. After that, they both had the (vegetarian) vegetable soup which came with a large amount of couscous. They added some of the couscous to the soup. The coucous was served in a decorative tagine. I had their chicken schnitzel salad. This was a piece of battered chicken breast deep fried and cut into pieces on top of an Israeli salad. My husband had their shakshuka dish. This had three eggs cooked in the tomato sauce. Both portions were quite large. The eggs were cooked a bit more than my husband would have liked, but he still enjoyed the dish. To drink, we shared a pot of very good mint tea. It was large enough for quite a few glasses each. For dessert, our friends had a piece of baklava. And we tried their knafeh. It is one of my husband's favorite desserts as it is not overly sweet. It was a tad overcooked, as the filo was a bit too browned, but still quite good. We are glad we had the opportunity to try this restaurant. And yes, we would come back here again -- even without our kosher friends. read more

It was ok. Servers were friendly, explained the menu well. Mint tea was good, but $8?! Only wine on the menu, was ok, but again like $18 for a glass. Branzino was fishy, wouldn't do again. Israeli salad was good tho Overall, was ok. Wouldn't go back personally tho read more

Amazing food! The hummus is the best and don't miss out on the quinoa salad! I come here every time I'm in town.

OMG! This place is awesome! Great service (Alexa is awesome) and the food is unreal. Had the frena appetizer, chicken liver Moroccan cigars and the short rib bruschetta. Every things was beyond delicious. Will be back for sure! read more

Great food! Great service! Great Ambiance! Tucked away in the shopping plaza this little restaurant is a hidden gem that you absolutely must try because the food and service was absolutely amazing! We were invited here to celebrate a wedding and we were treated like family by the owner and staff they truly took great care of us. Some of our favorite dishes: Flanken Hummus - homemade hummus with slow cooked super soft and tender meat that was served with pita bread. I've never had hummus served this way with slow cooked beef and it was absolutely incredible. Moroccan Couscous with grilled vegetable soup and chicken - wow this dish was simple but so good. If you're looking for home cooking comfort food this dish is it you're going to love it. Caramelized meatballs - meatballs with caramelized onion sauce served with rice. This dish was absolutely delicious as well. We ordered a bunch of salads for the table as well and everyone enjoyed them. The salads were fresh, homemade, and each one was different and so good on their own or with pita bread. Highly recommend trying their salads for the table if you're with a group. For desert they brought a big platter of assorted deserts served family style with nana (mint) tea and it was the perfect ending to our wonderful meal. read more

I love the adventures of dining in South Florida. When a friend suggested Mediterranean for an evening out, I found this little gem here on Yelp. It's a small (and I mean small - maybe seating for 20 plus a table or two outside?) place in yet another strip mall - across from TY Park, for those who know the area. If I had to summarize in one word, I'd have to say this place is "authentic." I've eaten at a number of Middle Eastern/Mediterranean restaurants, but there were words on this menu that I've never seen before! We started with an appetizer of frena bread, served with olives, preserved lemon, garlic olive oil and tahini as accompaniments - holy buckets, I've found a new bread to love! You can see the partial remnant in the picture. The special of the day, which my companion ordered, was koubeh (probably spelled differently), in either pumpkin or beet soup. She chose the pumpkin and the bite I had was delicious. I ordered the chicken with couscous, was accidentally served the vegetable soup with couscous (shown in the picture - the tagine held the couscous). Our server, Hadar quickly and graciously corrected the order after I realized that the soup wasn't just a side dish! It had huge chunks of all kinds of vegetables (unfortunately, not the ones I like, but the broth was tasty). The chicken was tender and delicious, and the extra was greatly enjoyed by a friend who was also impressed by it being glatt kosher. Our server was lovely - attentive and patient - but very busy! The place was packed at 7 pm and never slowed down. It was not inexpensive ($75 plus 18% gratuity), with nothing but water to drink, but I'm overall pleased with having gone. Definitely recommend! read more

Pala Mediterranean Kitchen - Vegetable soup with couscous (in tagine), with frena bread appetizer in the background. - Kosher Near Me - Hollywood, Florida

Such a delicious food experience! Highly recommend. Came in for dinner and wasn't disappointed. Service was very fast and friendly, and the space itself is super cute. Not a huge restaurant, so seating is a little limited. Everything we ate we enjoyed to the fullest. We started with olives and pita chips that were so flavorful. We loved the hummus and pita as well; both were fresh and spiced just right. All of the entrees were just as good. Everything is just right flavor wise, noticeably fresh, and portions are huge! Since this is a kosher restaurant the price is pretty high, but with the amount of food we received it wasn't as pricey as expected. We also loved the limonana drink that we ordered, one of the best we've had in the area. Will be back, please come check this place out!! read more

Last week my wife and I visited this Kosher Restaurant. I ordered the Moroccan beef stew it was delicious. So today we went back again and ordered the same again Moroccan beef stew well I can tell you we were both very disappointed and dissatisfied. The beef stew last time was swimming in graveyard and very tasty . This time know taste and know gravy. I spoke with the waitress and do you know what she said we have been making this for 20 years and it's always the same . Can you believe it . Well I will not recommend this restaurant and I will not be going back again . Paying $90 for something which did not come up to expectations. read more

Excellent food and service. clean and inviting space. Highly recommended. Coming back soon!!

What a great night! We had a wonderful dinner. The ambiance is very warm, the waiters couldn't do more to make us feel taken care of, the prices were good and the serving sizes also very big. The salads were so fresh. They make their own Challa and pita. I had the limonana and it was so yummy! We were 11 people so we all had different things but every fish was tasty and special. The arais, the meatballs and the schnitzel all were amazing! The desserts were freshly made and not the regular frozen yucky parve garbage you get at other places It's hard to find a kosher place that's not "another shawarma or sushi and steak joint" the owner came out to thank us for coming and told us that all the recipes are her grandmothers (Pala was her grandmothers name) and you can tell Got try it out. You won't regret it! We will def be back! read more
